Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a vacuum treatment installation with a workpiece holder, wherein the workpiece holder is executed as a carousel in such a fashion, that the workpieces to be treated are moved during the treatment process past treatment sources by rotating the carousel around its axis. The work pieces in this connection can be mounted on the carousel in such a manner that, during the rotation of the carousel, they perform a simple rotation or multiple rotations, i.e. for example double or triple rotations. According to the state of the art, the carousel is usually driven through its central axe.
- Prior to the treatment of the workpieces in the vacuum treatment facility, the workpiece holder must be loaded with the workpieces. After the treatment, the workpieces must be removed from the workpiece holder. This can take place directly at the vacuum treatment installation. In order to simplify the loading and removal of workpieces, it is however known to install the carousel in the vacuum chamber in such a manner that, in order to load the workpieces and remove the treated workpieces, the whole carousel can be taken out of the vacuum chamber. This occurs for example by means of a forklift.
- According to another approach known to the one skilled in the art, the carousel is placed on a base frame with wheels, so that it can be moved into the vacuum treatment installation by a vehicle approaching against the vacuum treatment installation. Hereinafter, such a carousel provided with wheels will be referred to as carousel carrier. The base frame of the carousel carrier is then Fastened in the vacuum treatment facility and the central drive is coupled to the axle of the carousel. The disadvantage in this connection is that a complicated coupling mechanism is required for this, since the drive, on the one hand, should not stand in the way of moving the carousel into the vacuum treatment facility and, on the other hand, it must engage in the central axle of the carousel in order to drive it. One must bear in mind that the entire mechanism needs to be executed in a manner that is vacuum-compatible.
- It would therefore be desirable to have at one's disposal a device with which a simple coupling of the carousel to the carousel drive can be achieved. This is the task that constitutes the basis for the present invention.
- According to the invention, this aim is achieved by choosing not a central axle for the carousel but rather a drive over its periphery resp. over the carousel's perimeter. According to the invention, the drive is provided on the side opposite to the opening of the vacuum treatment installation and includes for example a gearwheel which, after the carousel carrier has been moved completely into the vacuum treatment installation, engages with a gear rim provided on the carousel perimeter, so that the gearwheel is capable of driving the carousel through the gear rim.
- The invention will now be explained in detail on the basis of an example and with the aid of the figures.
-
FIG. 1 shows in top view an inventive device with the carousel carrier being inserted and the door being closed. -
FIG. 2 shows in top view a carriage loaded with a carousel carrier. -
FIG. 3 shows the carriage represented inFIG. 2 that has been brought up to an open vacuum chamber. -
FIG. 4 shows the carousel carder halfway into the vacuum chamber. - According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, rails are provided in the vacuum chamber in which the wheels can be made to roll in a guided fashion.

FIG. 2 represents acarousel carrier 201 on acarriage 203. Thecarousel carrier 201 comprises acarousel 205 and abase frame 207. Thecarousel 205 comprises aturntable 209 with anouter gear rim 211 through which thecarousel 205 can be driven. Thecarousel 205 according to the present embodiment further includes agearwheel system 213 onto which is mounted the workpiece holder (not represented) for loading workpieces. Thebase frame 207 includeswheels 215 that are made of vacuum-compatible material. The wheels are preferably made of ceramic material, so that consequently, even if they are partly exposed to material coating during the coating process, they will fulfill their task for a long time without any maintenance. - Two
rails 217 are provided on thecarriage 203, into which thewheels 215 of the carousel carder can run. Both rails are interrupted each with ahinge 219 so that they can be folded upwards. Ahandle 221 is advantageously provided on the flap thus created, in order to operate the flap.Carriage stoppers 225 are provided at the other end of therails 217.Wheels 223 are furthermore provided on the carriage, so that thiscarriage 203 can be brought up to a vacuum chamber in a simple way and manner. This is shown inFIG. 3 . For the sake of greater clarity, some reference signs for thecarriage 203 and thecarousel carder 203 have been omitted. Thevacuum chamber 303 shown inFIG. 3 is shown with an openeddoor 305. Thecarriage 201 is brought to thevacuum chamber 303 in such a manner than with the flap folded down, the ends of the rails connect to the counterparts provided at the vacuum chamber, i.e. thevacuum chamber rails 307, so that thecarousel carrier 201 can be moved into thevacuum chamber 303. The corresponding “driving in” is shown inFIG. 4 .Rear stoppers 309 andfront stoppers 311 are provided in the vacuum chamber. Thefront stoppers 311 are executed in a swiveling manner, so that they do not block the way when thecarriage 203 is brought to theopened vacuum chamber 303 and when thecarousel carrier 201 is inserted into thevacuum chamber 303. When thecarousel carder 201 has been completely moved into thevacuum chamber 303, theouter gear rim 211 of the carousel carder engages in thegear rim 103 of thegear rim 103 of thecarousel drive 101 provided on the wall opposite thedoor 305. Thestoppers 309 ensure that thegear rim 103 of thecarousel drive 101 and thegear rim 211 of thecarousel 205 do not engage too deeply with one another. In order to close thevacuum chamber 303, the twofront stoppers 311 are then swiveled inwards and thedoor 305 is closed. When thedoor 305 is closed, its pressure on thefront stoppers 311 ensures that the latter press against the carousel carrier so that thegear rim 103 of thecarousel drive 101 and thegear rim 211 of thecarousel 205 engage sufficiently deeply with one another. According to this embodiment, the interaction ofdoor 305,front stoppers 311,carousel carder 201 andrear stoppers 309 thus ensure thegear rim 103 of thecarousel drive 101 and thegear rim 211 of thecarousel 205 are operatively connected in an optimum fashion to be able to drive the carousel. - The vacuum chamber (303) of the vacuum treatment facility can then be pumped out, the
carousel drive 101 switched on and the vacuum treatment operation performed. - The vacuum treatment installation can be for example a coating facility. This can be for example a facility for the physical and/or chemical deposition from the gas phase (PVD and/or CVD). It can however also (possibly additionally) be an etching facility, for example for cleaning and/or activating surfaces. The present invention makes the loading and unloading prior to resp. after the treatment process considerably easier as compared with the state of the art. A particular advantage is afforded by the embodiment wherein the carousel and the carousel drive are coupled to one another in a simple manner and without additional mechanisms.
